What were your criterias for this team? Because I don't understand why Bismarck for example is in first team while guys like Littbarski, Buchwald, Iniesta, Zico (who all were superstars in the league) aren't even in reserves..
My criteria was a mix of titles, individual awards, appearances, goals and longevity in the league. Littbarski and Zico didn't play much in J1 League and did so at the end of their careers. Iniesta and even more Buchwald may have a spot, though. While Bismarck was nowhere near as good as these players, he won five championships and was included three times in the J.League best XI. Then you have Dragan Stojković who never won the J.League but has nearly 200 appearances and 60 goals, was named J.League Player of the Year once, was included three times in the J.League best XI and once in the J.League All Time XI. Anyway, I'm sure I can find a spot at least for Buchwald. What if I add an alternative all time squad focused on skills and world recognition status? I wouldn't mind that.
